Available Now!! Now and Forever by Willow Aster

 

Now and Forever by Willow Aster is now live! What happens in Vegas…stays with you. A steamy, small-town, single-dad romance full of humor, heat, and so much heart from USA Today bestselling author Willow Aster. I flew to Vegas to watch my little sister Goldie get married, not to fall for a stranger with a British accent and a laugh that could undo a man in one syllable. But that's exactly what happened. By morning, she was gone, the ghost of her perfume on the pillow, and a feeling I couldn't shake for months. Imogen was supposed to be a story I'd never tell anyone. Especially not Grayson, my son. Because Imogen was the one thing Grayson wanted—a woman in our life. Someone to fill the void his mom had left, and someone to make his dad happy. I told myself it was for the best—that Grayson needed a father who kept his heart exactly where it belonged: with him. My life in Windy Harbor has been quiet. Until a caravan of cameras, assistants, and matching luggage rolls into town, and I find out the woman who vanished on me in Vegas isn't just unforgettable—she's Imogen Edwards, the London influencer with a zillion followers and a life I can't begin to understand. Suddenly my carefully guarded existence isn't mine anymore. And the woman I never stopped thinking about is standing on my porch, entourage in tow, asking more of me than I can deliver. She knows exactly what happened between us that night—a truth I never told a single soul, one that's about to turn everything I thought I wanted upside down. Now and Forever is book five in the interconnected, standalone Windy Harbor series.

Release Blitz for Something Worth Keeping by Cori Wamsley

 

Something Worth Keeping by Cori Wamsley is now live!

Celeste Dawson is drowning in a house full of things that don’t belong to her—heirlooms, junk, secrets, and emotional clutter you can’t just drop off at a donation center… without triggering a ghostly council meeting of ancestors. When she quietly switches jobs, it feels like the first step toward reclaiming her life. The only problem? She “forgot” to tell Owen Becker, her closest friend at work… until she’s already halfway out the door.

Owen doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get why she’s leaving. He doesn’t get why it feels like a personal crisis. And he definitely doesn’t get that he’s in love with her. He just assumes he’s stressed. Or tired. Or maybe developing an allergy to feelings.

But as Celeste tries to dig herself out of a house that’s swallowing her whole, and Owen tries to dig himself out of debt and denial, they both start to realize that some messes aren’t meant to be tackled alone.

Audiobook Review for The Heist Before Christmas by Lucy Score, Natalie Duke (Narrator)

 

Riley Thorn #5

The Heist Before Christmas by Lucy Score, Natalie Duke (Narrator)

Published:  November 10, 2026 by That's What She Said Publishing,Inc.

Genre:  Christmas, Romance, Cozy Romance

Taken from Goodreads:  #1 New York Times bestselling author Lucy Score brings a psychic twist to Christmas in this hilarious all-new Riley Thorn adventure, the fifth in the romantic mystery series.

'Tis the season for mayhem, mistletoe, and one very unfortunate mall uniform.

Engaged. Overwhelmed. Running a small business with a purple-haired octogenarian who thinks "Rhonda El Bano" is a convincing alias. For reluctant psychic Riley Thorn, the holidays are less "magic in the air" and more "fire in the living room." Between the backlog of invoices, a PI license teetering on revocation, a disapproving grandmother lobbing ominous predictions about the upcoming wedding, and the fact that Riley cannot see a single thing about her own future with Nick Santiago, she just wants to survive until December 26th.

Nick Santiago doesn't do "mellow." He does Christmas. Hard. He's the man who owns a twelve-foot inflatable Santa and feels no shame about it. So if closing out the year means going undercover at the East Shore Mall to catch a slippery theft ring―even if it costs him one truly terrible security uniform and several shifts with the world's most punchable assistant manager―fine. The sooner he catches the bad guy, the sooner he can haul his fiancée under the mistletoe and convince her everything is going to be fine.

Between mall chaos, psychic guild parties, warring families descending for Christmas Eve dinner, and one stray kitten who has personally destroyed two rooms and a dog's dignity, they have five days to catch a thief, save a license―

And figure out why the future looks so suspiciously blank.

 

My Thoughts:  I just listened to a comedy!   I laughed, I cringed, and I enjoyed every single moment.  It is all about trying to figure out who is robbing stores at the mall at Christmas time.  The PI hired has a crew of misfits that work with him and nothing seems to go their way.  

The Heist Before Christmas has just the right narrator, Leslie Duke.   The tones used to tell this story were perfect.   The story came to life for me while I was listening to the audiobook.   Her voice managed to bring the story to life sharing the adventures of The Heist Before Christmas characters.

If you are looking for a cozy romance with a ton of fun antics, this is the book for you.

Thank you to Hambright PR for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

He studies monsters. She shares DNA with one. Now they're hunting a copycat killer determined to finish what her twin brother started.

 

As a former rescue squad firefighter, Dallas Garrity knows danger when he sees it. As the newest behavioral analyst for the Remington Police Department, he knows evil when he sees it, too. When a body turns up with all the signatures of the city’s most notorious serial killer, Dallas knows he must break the case and bring Ezekial Murphy’s copycat killer to justice.

No matter how much Dallas knows about her past. No matter how much she still wants him now.

 

As secrets unravel and their chemistry burns hotter than ever, Dallas and Wren must stay a step ahead of not one killer, but two. Before it’s too late for them both.

Release Blitz for Icy Control by Carly Robyn

 

Icy Control by Carly Robyn is now live! A spicy brother’s best friend, hockey romance where one burning attraction may be the thing that shatters his icy control… Jake Reid has spent years earning every shift, goal, and ounce of respect in the Boston Bobcats’ locker room. Then his father buys the team and suddenly he’s no longer the hardworking player who helped his team win Stanley Cups, but the new owner’s son who hasn’t earned his place. The spotlight is brutal, the pressure to prove he belongs is relentless, and Jake’s carefully controlled world is starting to crack. Sophie Davies has spent years waiting for the right time, the right guy, and the right moment to stop watching her life happen from the sidelines. Or more accurately, from the stands cheering for a hockey player she’s never let herself want out loud. But when she loses her apartment and needs a place to stay, Jake offers his spare room. Starting over pushes Sophie to do the one bold thing she’s never dared to do… ask Jake for exactly what she wants: a secret fling with no strings and no feelings. Except living together makes it impossible to keep things simple. What’s supposed to be casual starts to feel a lot like falling. As the season intensifies and Jake fights to prove he belongs, the one thing he can’t control is how much he needs Sophie. But will the girl who’s never asked for anything fight for forever with the guy who was never supposed to be hers? In a world where control is everything, sometimes the only way to win is to stop playing it safe. Icy Control is a spicy hockey romance with heart, heat, humor, and a guaranteed HEA.
